Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a midrange value deck with freeform gameplay. Play spell payoff cards, then target your creatures with spells for value. Your commander never needs to be cast to win, but he's pretty good, so bring him out for some extra value when the time is right. They just Mystery Booster 2 printed the perfect commander for this deck with Anax and Cymede and Kynaios and Tyro, but it's not legal and I'm sad forever now. I think I'm going to be rule 0'ing in this commander instead of Aragorn if ever possible. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"COMMANDER"},{"insert":": Playing Aragorn is possible on turn 3 about a quarter of the time, and those are big pop-off games. He’s gonna be a target no matter when you play him. The value you generate with him is strong, it's repeatable, and it attracts a lot of attention. Plus, he's a big body, so it's not easy to fly under the radar with him. Be prepared with some protection spells if you want him sticking around. There is only one card in the deck reliant on Aragorn being on the battlefield (Contest of Claws), and everything else has modal options to work without him. Aragorn value is more incidental than a priority in this deck. The deck was designed to prioritize multicolored options that maximize his value if he's on the board, and since the mana in this deck is extraordinarily consistent, everything is pretty castable with the right sequencing. Aragorn can be a wincon for sure, as both a strong source of removal (green fight spells) and a big commander damage threat (green-pipped-spells in sequence). He’s also likely the best copy target in the deck, as the incidental value becomes much less incidental if there's four of him (Vesuvan Duplimacy, Quantum Misalignment, Irenicus's Vile Duplication). \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"SECRET COMMANDER"},{"insert":": Nadu's dead now, and the whole reason I wanted to run Ink-Treader color combo was to put him and Feather into the same deck. Feather's still here though. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"WIN CONS"},{"insert":": Other than outvaluing your opponents with consistent card draw, card effects that target all your creatures like Zada or Ink-Treader can generate an absurd amount of value. With the proper board state, Fists of Flame or Gold Rush is just a win. Song of Creation is pretty much a win in 1 or 2 turns from when it’s played, it’s busted. If Feather is on the board while this happening, you can order beginning-of-end-step effects to discard your hand and then return all spells from Feather, reloading your hand. I've considered running Ascend from Avernus as an additional win-con after playing Song of Creation to bring back all the cards I discard, but this did not happen consistently enough to justify running. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"MULLIGAN"},{"insert":": The deck is fairly evenly spread between the colors, so having access to all of them is a priority. Though the mana curve is low, there are only 20 or so cards in the deck worth playing before turn 4. Mulligan for anything to do on the first three turns, like 1-3 mana ramp or a meaningful targetable creature (Ivy, Beamsplitter, Stormchaser Drake, Phalanx Leader). Ramp is always good, and it's likely you'll just be ramping in your opening turns. I'm experimenting with the ramp package here, and it's possible you can go a little greedier (Skyshroud Claim, Entish Restoration, other 4 mana ramp spells). Cultivate and Kodama's Reach both overperform in the opening turns, even though they mean you can't cast Aragorn on turn 3 more consistently. The combination of ramp and mana fixing is just so important in this deck, since there's so much setup required to get value out of your cantrips and targeted spells, and dropping a big value enchantment and passing with no mana up is a surefire way to get whacked in a deck that has no lifegain or consistent board state. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"IMPROVEMENTS"},{"insert":": The current deck struggles with reliably generating a meaningful board of creatures, and if this is more important to you, taking out red pips and putting in white pips is going to help a lot when Aragorn is on the battlefield. The deck could benefit from instant/sorcery/non-creature token-generating cards like Kykar, Monastery Mentor, Third Path Iconoclast, etc., but my Narset deck already does this, and I’m having more fun copying things here. It's probably worth running, especially because I see how good Saheeli is in this deck. More targeting cantrips are likely better, but I don’t have the heart to run more of them, since they just feel like dead cards in your hand until you have a payoff. If you use cantrips as an incidental cycle and hope to top deck some value card, it usually doesn’t pan out, and you usually regret not having one when the time comes. The deck could also be made much, much better by running Invasion of Ikoria, Worldly Tutor, Eladamri’s Call, or anything that finds Feather and Nadu more consistently. These cards are the true value engine of the deck, but I can’t justify tutoring for them, since I'm not actively trying to make my playgroup hate the birds more than they're already hated, and since it puts a huge target on my back. There's also no lifegain in the deck, and the mana-fixing and MDFC damage does add up. I considered running things like Ancient Cornucopia, Powerleech, Great Henge, Uro, and board clears like Fumigate to circumvent this. Ultimately, the best lifegain is probably anti-aggro cards like Ghostly Prison, Collective Restraint, and Propaganda, as well as generically good commander lifegain like Powerleech.\n"}]}
